PART I
Item I. Description of Business
HISTORY
HARRELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation
which was originally incorporated in 1959 in Massachusetts under the name of
Formula 409, Inc. In 1967, the Company's name was changed to The Harrell
Corporation and in 1968 to Harrell International, Inc. The Company changed its
state of incorporation from Massachusetts to Delaware in March, 1987. The
Company originally manufactured and sold a multi-purpose household spray
cleaner under the registered trademark "Formula 409." In 1970, the Company
sold the rights to "Formula 409" to Clorox Corporation. During the period 1970
to 1983 the Company was primarily engaged in the business of acquiring and
operating food and non-food brokers which represented the products of various
unrelated manufacturers to either the U. S. Domestic Civilian Market or to the
U. S. Military Resale System. In 1983, the Company completed the divestiture
of its consumer products brokerage businesses and entered a phase during which
its revenues were derived primarily from the collection of receivables acquired
in connection with such divestitures.
Effective July 1, 1980, WHC and the Company entered into various
agreements with Sarvis & Associates, Inc. ("SA"), an unrelated company in the
same line of business, the effect of which was to allow WHC (thereafter renamed
Sarvis-Harrell and Company, Inc. ["SH"]), to assume the rights to the
operations of SA, including the right to represent the manufacturers then
represented by SA for the period July 1, 1980, through September 30, 1983.
On February 22, 1983, the Company and SH reached an agreement effective
January 1, 1983, to sell all the operations and all the assets, subject to
substantially all of the liabilities, of SH to Sarvis Incorporated ("Sarvis"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SA, for $4.2 million. The $4.2 million purchase
price was payable in the form of a promissory note (the "Sarvis Note") secured
by all the assets sold to Sarvis, all the issued and outstanding stock of
Sarvis, the guaranty of Sarvis & Associates, Inc., the parent of Sarvis, its
parent, The Sarvis Group, and Richard S. Sarvis, the Chief Executive Officer of
Sarvis, Sarvis & Associates, Inc. and The Sarvis Group, individually.
In early 1985, despite the fact that on December 13, 1984, the Company
settled by stipulation a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service relating to
fiscal years 1971 through 1974, the IRS levied upon the accounts receivable of
the Company and was about to levy upon its notes receivable. To prevent this,
the Company filed a petition for relief pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on April 25, 1985. After paying all of the secured and
unsecured creditors of the Company as provided in the Company's Plan of
Reorganization which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in February, 1986,
the Company filed a Motion for Final Decree in September, 1987. The Court
entered a Final Decree on September 9, 1988, pursuant to which the Company was
discharged from the Chapter 11 proceeding and the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court.

LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS, RECAPITALIZATION AND
SALE OF STOCK AND WARRANTS TO CLOVER, INC.
Background
During fiscal 1988, the Company continued to attempt to develop a
business as an international marketing agent for foreign-produced goods in the
United States and for U. S. products abroad. However, because of these
disappointing results and the high costs of continuing to operate the Company,
the Board of Directors decided to explore the liquidation or reorganization of
the Company. The Board empowered Wilson L. Harrell to explore these
possibilities on behalf of the Company.
During the fall of 1988, Mr. Harrell began the search for a possible
merger candidate.
During the period September, 1988 to August, 1989, the Company
negotiated to the point of verbal understandings two separate transactions
involving business combinations with the Company. Both transactions were
conditioned upon a sale of the Company's note receivable from Sarvis
Incorporated (the "Sarvis Note"). In each case the transaction was structured
to provide an immediate cash return to the Company's stockholders, which return
was dependent upon liquidation of the Sarvis Note. One transaction was
terminated by the Company because of the failure of the other party to develop
a business plan for the combined business which was acceptable to the Board of
Directors. The other transaction was terminated by the other party, a United
States subsidiary of a foreign corporation, because its foreign parent decided
to liquidate its interests in the United States.
In order to liquidate the assets of the Company to position the Company
for liquidation or reorganization and to provide an immediate return to the
Company's stockholders, Wilson L. Harrell, Chairman of the Board of the
Company, began negotiations on behalf of the Company with Sarvis Incorporated
in the fall of 1988 for discount of the Sarvis Note. As a result of such
negotiations, the Company and Sarvis Incorporated entered into a Note Purchase
Agreement dated as of August 15, 1989, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
sell the Sarvis Note to Sarvis and Sarvis agreed to buy the Sarvis Note for
$1,809,265 in cash less the amount of any principal payments made under the
Sarvis Note from June 1, 1989, to closing ("Offsets"), plus interest thereon at
prime from June 1, 1989, until the closing of the sale. The purchase and sale
were conditioned on the following: (1) the receipt by the Company of the
written opinion of Sheldrick, McGehee & Kohler, financial consultants, that the
sale of the Sarvis Note to Sarvis for $1,809,265 less Offsets would be fair and
reasonable to the stockholders of the Company in light of all the surrounding
circumstances, (2) approval by Company's Board of Directors, (3) approval by
holders of a majority of Company's outstanding Common Stock, (4) consummation
of Sarvis' financing arrangements for purchase of the Sarvis Note, and (5)
closing of the purchase by October 15, 1989.
At a Special Meeting of the Stockholders held October 10, 1989, the
stockholders approved the sale of the Sarvis Note to Sarvis on the terms set
forth above and the discharge of the Company's obligations for retirement
income and other benefits to Wilson L. Harrell pursuant to an Employment
Agreement dated April, 1981, as amended, at an agreed value of $900,000. The
sale of the Sarvis Note was consummated on October 11, 1989. The discharge of
the Retirement Obligation was consummated on October 12, 1989, out of the
proceeds of the sale of the Sarvis Note. In addition, a $2.00 per share
dividend was paid October 31, 1989, to Company's stockholders of record October
10, 1989, out of the proceeds of the sale of the Sarvis Note.
The balance of the proceeds of the sale of the Sarvis Note after
discharge of the Retirement Obligation and payment of a $2.00 per share
dividend (approximately $75,000) were invested in Government Securities as
defined in the 1940 Act. At March 31, 1990, approximately ninety-four percent
(94%) of the assets of the Company were invested in Government Securities and
cash items.
Following the sale of the Sarvis Note, the Company continued searching
for a possible merger candidate. In early March, 1990, Wilson Harrell renewed
discussions with Geoffrey G. Dart ("Dart"), an Australian businessman with whom
the Company had negotiated to the point of a verbal understanding in September,
1988. In late April and early May, 1990, the individual members of the Board
of Directors of the Company were formally advised by Wilson Harrell of the
negotiations with Dart and each empowered Wilson Harrell to continue to
negotiate with Dart. Wilson Harrell entered into
3
<PAGE> 4
an agreement in principle dated May 25, 1990, with Clover, Inc., a newly formed
Delaware corporation owned by Victoria Berensen, a business associate of Dart,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to enter into a definitive agreement on or
before June 7, 1990, to sell to Clover, Inc., after a recapitalization
described below, 217,690 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Clover Class A
Stock") and 217,690 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Clover Class B
Stock"), and to issue the warrants to purchase additional shares of Class A
Common Stock described below (the "Warrants") to Clover, Inc. for $500,000 (the
"Purchase Price").
On June 11, 1990, a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement between the
Company and Clover, Inc. ("Clover") was presented to the Company's Board of
Directors, which unanimously approved the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock
Purchase Agreement was executed by Wilson L. Harrell on behalf of the Company
on June 12, 1990.
The Company's Board of Directors declared a special dividend to be paid
on September 5, 1990, to stockholders of record of the Company on June 29,
1990, contingent upon approval by the stockholders at the August 28, 1990,
meeting of the Clover Transaction (the "Special Dividend"). The Special
Dividend was to be in an amount equal to all the Company's cash and other
assets immediately prior to consummation of the Clover Transaction in excess of
its capital following the recapitalization less a reserve for all the Company's
liabilities.
On August 27, 1990, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously
consented to amend the Stock Purchase Agreement to reduce the portion of the
$500,000 purchase price due at the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Clover Transaction") to
$65,000 and to provide for payment of the balance due in installments of
$185,000 and $250,000 on the 90th and 180th days following such closing,
respectively.
Clover Transaction
At the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Company held August 28,
1990, the Company's Stockholders approved the Clover Transaction, the material
elements of which were as follows:
a. Recapitalization of Company, increasing the number of
authorized shares from 2,000,000 to 10,000,000 (9,000,000
Class A and 1,000,000 Class B common shares, the rights,
privileges and entitlements of holders of which are
identical except that on all matters submitted to
Company's stockholders for approval, the holders of Class
B Common Stock are entitled in the aggregate to a vote
equal to that of the aggregate outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock plus one additional vote); decreasing the
par value of all common shares from $1.00 to $.01 per
share; and designating currently outstanding shares of
Company's Common Stock as Class A Common Stock.
b. A sale of Common Stock and warrants to Clover, Inc.
("Clover") for $500,000 upon consummation of which Clover
would own 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Class A
Common Stock of the Company and 100% of the issued and
outstanding Class B Common Stock of the Company
(representing a 50% economic interest and 66 2/3% voting
interest in the Company) and warrants to purchase
additional shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company
at prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.00 per share (which if
exercised in full immediately following consummation of
the sale would have given Clover an aggregate 75% economic
interest and 85.7% voting interest in the Company).
c. The delivery to Clover at the closing of the transaction
of certain ancillary agreements including a Management
Agreement pursuant to which Clover would manage the
ongoing operations of the Company.
d. Setting the size of the Company's Board of Directors at
three (3) members pursuant to Article III Section 1 of the
Company's bylaws.
e. Election of Geoffrey G. Dart, Wilson L. Harrell and Arthur
G. Linkletter as directors of the
4
<PAGE> 5
Company.
f. After consummation of the transaction, election of
Geoffrey G. Dart as president and chief executive officer
of the Company by the Company's three member Board of
Directors.
Following the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation was amended to give effect to the recapitalization
described above.
The Clover Transaction, as amended, was consummated on August 28, 1990.
On September 5, 1990, the Special Dividend of $1.1089 per share was paid to the
Company's stockholders of record on June 29, 1990.
The purchase price due under the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company
and Clover, as amended, was due in three installments as follows: $65,000 at
closing, $185,000 on November 26, 1990 (the "Second Installment"), and $250,000
on February 24, 1991 (the "Third Installment"). On November 26, 1990, the
Company received a written request from Clover for a 30-day extension of time
to pay the Second Installment. By resolution of the Company's Board of
Directors, the due date of the Second Installment was extended to December 26,
1990. On December 17, 1990, Clover requested an additional extension of time
to pay the Second Installment. No action was taken on this request by
September 30, 1991.
OPERATIONS
At September 30, 1990, the Company's intention was to engage in the
acquisition, development and management of real estate properties directly and
through affiliates, including joint ventures and partnerships (in which its
interests would be that of a general partner having substantial involvement or
participation in management). The Company planned to focus its initial real
estate activities upon purchase, development and management of condominiums,
apartments and other residential properties located in the Southwestern and
Southeastern United States but did not rule out the possibility of pursuing
similar opportunities with respect to office buildings, shopping centers and
other commercial real estate projects throughout the United States and abroad.
The proposed activities of the Company discussed above were intended to
be structured in such a way as to preclude the Company from being deemed to be
an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
In furtherance of the Company's intention at September 30, 1990, to
acquire, develop and manage real estate projects, the Company has, since
December, 1990, entered into the three separate transactions the Riviera
Project, the Villa Martinique Project and the Athena Garden Project, discussed
below. All such transactions included as a component the Company's entering
into a joint venture agreement with another corporation and the acquisition by
such joint venture of an interest in an existing apartment complex. After any
necessary renovations, the apartment complexes were, and continue to be,
operated by the joint ventures.
Riviera Project
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement dated December 7,
1990, with Riviera Investors Corporation, a Texas Corporation ("RIC"), forming
the "Riviera Joint Venture." RIC contributed $232,000 to the venture's
capital. Although the Company contributed no cash to the venture, Clover,
Inc., in exchange for good and valuable consideration, assigned to the venture
its rights under that certain Contract of Sale dated October 20, 1990, by and
between Clover, Inc. and the Estate of James Devereaux Stahlman.
The venture exercised its rights under the Contract of Sale on December
7, 1990, and purchased a 37 unit apartment complex known as Riviera Apartments
(the "Riviera Project") located in Dallas, Texas, for a purchase price of
$222,000.

<PAGE> 6
Pursuant to the Riviera Joint Venture Agreement, the venture's
distributable cash is to be distributed as follows:
(1) The first $32,480 to RIC;
(2) The second $32,480 to the Company;
(3) The balance, 50% to RIC and 50% to the Company.
In February, 1991, RIC and the Company agreed to restructure the voting
and profits interests of the Riviera Joint Venture whereby the Company's voting
interest and its net profits interest in excess of $64,960 were both decreased
from 50% to 40% in exchange for $11,600 from RIC.
While RIC and the Company share equally the venture's management, the
Company supervises its day-to-day operations. The Riviera Project is now
operated by Hotel Management Group, a wholly owned subsidiary.
See Item 12: "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" below for
a discussion of the ownership of RIC and certain options to purchase
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued in connection with
this venture.
See Page 11: "Subsequent Events"
Villa Martinique Project
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement dated July 15, 1991,
with Villa Martinique Investors Corporation, a Texas corporation ("VMIC"),
forming the "Villa Martinique Apartments Joint Venture." VMIC contributed
$275,000 to the venture's capital and the Company contributed 80.714% of its
rights in an agreement dated June 17, 1991, to purchase a 146 unit apartment
complex (the "VM Project") known as the Villa Martinique Apartments located in
Irving, Texas, from Home Savings of America, F.A. ("Home Savings"). The
Company's remaining 19.286% interest in the contract was assigned to Wilson L.
Harrell in consideration for his agreement to be a co-maker with VMIC of the
purchase money promissory note discussed below. On August 13, 1991, the VM
Project was acquired by the Villa Martinique Joint Venture and Wilson L.
Harrell from Home Savings for a purchase price of $1,750,000, $255,000 in cash,
less certain tax adjustments, and $1,495,000 in the form of the note described
below. 80.714% of the VM Project is owned by the venture and 19.286% is owned
by Wilson Harrell.
Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, 87.6% and 12.4% of the joint
venture's distributable cash, less reasonable reserves, are distributable to
VMIC and the Company, respectively. The Company's 12.4% interest in the
venture equates to a 10% interest in the VM Project. Although VMIC and the
Company share equally the right to manage the venture, the Company supervises
the venture's day-to-day operations. The VM Project is operated by Hotel
Management Group.
VMIC and Wilson L. Harrell are joint makers of a promissory note dated
August 13, 1991, in the original principal amount of $1,495,000 payable to Home
Savings. The note bears interest at annual rates of 7.5%, 8.5%, 10% and 10.5%,
respectively, for the periods August 13, 1991, through August 31, 1992;
September 1, 1992, through August 31, 1993; September 1, 1993, through August
31, 1994; and September 1, 1994, through September 1, 2001. The note is
secured by the VM Project and an assignment of its leases and rents.
On July 13, 1994, the Company, along with the other partners of Villa
Martinique Apartments Joint Venture entered into a Compromise, Settlement and
Release Agreement (the "Settlement") with Home Savings. The settlement settles
claims by the venture against Home Savings as seller of the Villa Martinique
Project for roof problems, which caused the complex to experience leaking and
ceiling failures rendering 15 units uninhabitable. The Settlement calls for a
new roof being installed at the Villa Martinique Project, as well as an
allowance for other minor repairs.
Additionally, the partners negotiated a reduction in the interest rate
on the Mortgage and an increase of $100,000 to the Mortgage, which amount has
been used to make other improvements to the property.
See Item 12: "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" below for a
discussion of the ownership of VMIC and certain fees paid to related parties.

<PAGE> 7
Athena Gardens Project
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement dated November 26,
1991, with Athena Gardens Investors Corporation, a Texas corporation ("AGIC"),
forming the "Athena Gardens Joint Venture." AGIC contributed $235,500 to the
venture's capital and the Company contributed its rights in an agreement dated
October 9, 1991, to purchase a 72-unit apartment complex (the "AG Project")
known as the Athena Gardens Apartments located in Athens, Texas, from Camarilla
Development, Inc. for $600,000.
Pursuant to the joint venture agreement between the Company and AGIC,
80% and 20% of the venture's distributable cash is distributed to AGIC and the
Company, respectively. Although AGIC and the Company share equally the right
to manage the venture, the Company supervises the venture's day-to-day
operations. The AG Project is now managed by Hotel Management Group.
The AG Project was purchased by the venture on December 4, 1991, for
$600,000. The venture borrowed $420,000 of the purchase price from First State
Bank (the "First State Loan"). The First State Loan is evidenced by a note
bearing interest per annum at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus two
points, with maximum and minimum rates of 15% and 9% per annum, respectively,
payable over 120 months, and secured by a first lien deed of trust on the AG
Project and an assignment of rents and leases from the AG Project.
See Item 12: "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" below for
a discussion of the ownership of AGIC and certain fees paid to related
parties.
See Page 11: "Subsequent Events"
Clover Transaction Restructuring
As of December 18, 1991, Clover had still not made either the Second or
Third Installments of the Purchase Price and had no apparent ability to make
such payments. Therefore, on December 23, 1991, the Company and Clover entered
into a Restructuring Agreement on the following terms:
1. Clover returned to the Company for cancellation all of the Clover
Class B Stock, all of the Warrants, and 167,690 shares of the
Clover Class A Stock.
2. Clover retained 50,000 shares of the Clover Class A Stock in
settlement of all issues relating to the default by Clover under
the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 12, 1990, as amended, and
the agreements executed pursuant thereto, and in full
satisfaction of all services performed on behalf of the Company
by Geoffrey G. Dart through December 23, 1991.
3. The following agreements between the Company and Clover were
terminated without further liability to either party: (a) Stock
Purchase Agreement dated June 12, 1990, and the August 27, 1990,
amendment thereto; (b) Stock Pledge Agreement dated August 28,
1990; (c) Management Agreement dated August 28, 1990; and (d)
Security Agreement dated August 28, 1990.
4. Geoffrey G. Dart was to remain president and chief executive
officer of the Company but no new management or employment
agreement was entered into at that time.
In light of Clover's failure to make the additional installments
aggregating $435,000, and the Company's need for capital in order to pursue the
business plan discussed above, the Company determined that it should seek a new
capital partner. On December 23, 1991, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized Wilson Harrell and Geoffrey Dart to actively seek such a partner.

Xenex Transaction
On October 24, 1991, the Company borrowed $50,000 from Xenex
International, Inc., a Florida corporation. The promissory note executed by
the Company provided for interest at the rate of 10% per annum and originally
was payable as to interest and principal on January 31, 1992. Geoffrey G.
Dart, then the Company's President and one of its directors, and Wilson L.
Harrell, a shareholder and director of the Company, guaranteed the loan's
repayment. As an inducement for their guaranty, the Company entered into an
Indemnification and Security Agreement, dated December 23, 1991, with Geoff
Dart and Wilson Harrell wherein the Company agreed to indemnify Messrs. Dart
and Harrell for any liability incurred by them pursuant to their guaranty and,
in order to secure such indemnity, granted Messrs. Dart and Harrell a security
interest in the Company's interest in that certain Joint Venture Agreement,
dated July 15, 1991, between the Company and Villa Martinique Investors
Corporation.
The maturity date of the loan was extended at January 31, 1992, in
connection with the agreement of the Company and Xenex to enter into Stock
Purchase Agreement giving Xenex an option to acquire up to 80% of the Company's
Class A Common Stock for $1,000,000. Pursuant to the Agreement the parties
agreed that the forgiveness of the $50,000 loan from Xenex would be treated as
a deposit toward Xenex's initial $150,000 investment in the Company which was
due upon closing the transactions contemplated in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Due to delays caused by the need to prepare, at Xenex's request,
appraisals of the properties owned by the various joint ventures, the Stock
Purchase Agreement was not executed until May 28, 1992. Its terms provide as
follows:
1. Xenex's initial investment of $150,000 entitles Xenex to (i)
291,228 shares, or approximately 37.5% of the Company's then
outstanding stock, and (ii) an option to acquire up to an
additional 1,650,292 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000; and
2. The Xenex option (i) is exercisable in whole or in part at any
time prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, and (ii)
is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution of Xenex's right to
acquire 80% control of the Company as a result of the exercise of
certain other options to acquire the Company's Common Stock.
As part of the transaction with Xenex, Wilson L. Harrell, one of the
Company's directors and holder of, directly or together with his wife, 164,570
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (33.9% of the then outstanding
shares and 21.2% of the shares to be outstanding following the initial purchase
by Xenex), agreed to deposit such shares in a one-year voting trust for the
benefit of Xenex, which resulted in Xenex's control of approximately 59% of the
total outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock immediately following
consummation of the transaction. Upon consummation of the transaction with
Xenex, the number of directors of the Company was increased by two and Nasir
Ashemimry and Joseph Vincent, both of whom are officers, directors and
shareholders of Xenex, were elected to the Board.
On February 6, 1993, the Company entered into Modification of Common
Stock Warrant with Xenex International wherein the following was agreed:
1. The term of the Warrant was extended to June 30, 1995.
2. Xenex agreed to loan $150,000 to the Company such loan to bear
interest at the rate of 2% above Prime, with the Principal and
all interest due on June 30, 1995. The Note was secured by the
Company's interest in the real property owned by partnerships in
which the Company was a partner and by the Company and by some of
Class A Common Stock of the Company. The loan together with
accrued interest was to be converted to stock at December 15,
1994. The Xenex Warrant expired on June 30, 1995, without Xenex
purchasing additional shares in the Company.

Xenex/Businesship
On December 15, 1994, an agreement was reached between the Company and
Xenex, Inc. to convert the Xenex $216,932.80 loan to the Company, plus
accumulated interest, into 472,396 shares of the Company's Common Stock, based
on the option price of $.5151 per share as outlined in the Stock Purchase
Agreement of May 28, 1992, as modified on February 16, 1993. The parties agreed
that the transaction would close only after all regulatory delinquencies or
deficiencies had been cured.
On December 15, 1994, Agreement was reached between Businesship
International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Xenex, Inc. to merge Xenex,
Inc. into Businesship International, Inc. The effect was to transfer 291,228
shares of the Company's Common Stock from Xenex, Inc. to Businesship
International, Inc.
On December 15, 1994, the Board of Directors of Businesship

Apartment Management
Effective November 2, 1992, the company dismissed the management company
responsible for the management of the three apartment complexes in which the
Company has an interest, due to poor performance.
Hotel Management Group assumed the management of the Athena Gardens,
Riviera and Villa Martinique apartments at that time.
Hotel Management
Effective January 1, 1994, Hotel Management Group, Inc. formed a wholly
owned subsidiary, Hotel Management Group - California, Inc., to hold the
management contract for the operations of the Biltmore Hotel and Suites in
Santa Clara, California. Additionally, as part of a restructuring undertaken
by the Owners of that hotel, the food and beverage operations at the property
were leased to Hotel Management Group California Partners, L.P. a California
Limited Partnership, of which Hotel Management Group - California, Inc. was the
General Partner, and the limited partners were members of the Owner's family.
Hotel Management Group - California, Inc ceased to be the General Partner of
HMG California Partners L.P. on June 22, 1995 as part of further restructuring
by the hotel's owner.
HMG - California acquired the mange contract of the Rancho Santa Barbara
Marriott in May 1995.
The management contract on the Days Inn Pass Christian Mississippi was
terminated in July 1995, as the property is to be purchased and demolished by
the State of Mississippi for the expansion of the highway system. As
compensation for the early termination of the management agreement, HMG
Mississippi will receive a fee of $15,000 upon the sale of the hotel to the
State Of Mississippi or in July 1996, whichever occurs first. Additionally,
for the period July 1995 through July 1996, or the earlier sale of the
property, HMG Mississippi will continue to perform marketing consulting
services for the property.

Businesship International Acquisition of Xenex International
In March, 1993, an agreement was reached between Xenex International and
Businesship International for the sale of Xenex to Businesship. Businesship
International is a private company involved in the business of education,
communication and distributive services.
Xenex International and Businesship International are majority owned by

rights, duties and obligations under the Xenex Transaction agreement with the
Company.
Number of Employees
At September 30, 1995, the company had 2 full time employees and no part
time employees.
Subsequent Events
Sale of Riviera Apartments
On August 5, 1996, the Riviera Apartments were sold to a Mr. Dallas
Smith, an unrelated party, for the sum of $260,000. The net proceeds due to
the original investors in RIC was approximately the same as their original
investment, and therefore the sale resulted in no proceeds to the Company. The
partners elected to sell the property due to its lack of past performance or
potential future performance as an investment.
Sale of the Company's Interest in Athena Garden Apartments
On August 20, 1996 the Company sold its 20% Interest in Athena Garden
Apartments Joint Venture, to Messrs Irvin Atkins, Arthur Linkletter, and Wilson
Harrell, who collectively represent 83.33% of Athena Gardens Investors
Corporation the Company's joint venture partners in Athena Gardens Apartments
Joint Venture, for the sum of $100,000.
The sale was approved by the Board and the holders of a majority of the
shares of the Company under authority of Section 6 of the Company's By Laws.
The Company pursued the sale in order to enhance the Company's liquidity. The
Company plans to pursue medium term hotel management contracts for Hotel
Management Group, and its subsidiaries, and the liquidity may permit minority
investments in such hotels.
Director Resignation
Effective August 9, 1996 Mr. Nasir Ashemimry resigned as Chairman,
Director and CEO of the Company to pursue other interests.
Sale of the Company's Interest in Villa Martinique Apartments
The Company has negotiated to sell the Company's 10% interest in the
Villa Martinique Apartments Joint Venture to the Villa Martinique Investors
Corporation, the Company's joint venture partner in the apartment project, for
the sum of $38,889, payable as to $29,020 in cash at closing with a note in the
amount of $9,869 bearing interest at the prime rate, with principal and
interest all due in 2 years.
This transaction has been approved by the Company's Board, and is
expected to close in November 1996. Similar to the Athena Gardens Apartments
sale, the sale of the interest in Villa Martinique frees up funds for use by
the Company in pursuing hotel transactions.

Memphis Airport Sheraton
On October 17, 1996 the Company purchased a minority limited partnership
interest in the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, located near the Memphis Airport in
Memphis, Tennessee. At the same closing a subsidiary of the Company contracted
with the new ownership to manage the hotel.
In June of 1996 an unaffiliated company, LTS Group, Inc. entered into a
contract to purchase the hotel for a purchase price of $9 million. Hotel
Management Group, Inc. entered into an agreement with LTS Group, Inc. to study
feasibility and prepare recommendations and budgets. Hotel Management Group,
Inc. was paid at the closing $25,000 for these efforts. Costs to renovate the
hotel are budgeted to be approximately $2.5 million, which together with
closing costs and working capital for the hotel estimated at $1.2 million
comprise the $12.65 million transaction. Of the $12.65 million, Lehman
Brothers Holdings, Inc. loaned approximately $11.65 million and contributed
equity of $700,000. LTS Group and others contributed equity of $200,000 and
the Company contributed $100,000. The hotel is owned through limited
partnerships with the Company owning a limited partnership interest equating to
a 7% interest in the hotel, LTS Group, Inc., its affiliates and others 23%, and
Lehman Brothers and its affiliates 70%. LTS Group, Inc., the Company and
others comprise Texas Memphis Investors Limited, a Texas limited partnership.
The Lender required as a condition of the loan to the partnership, that Paul L.
Barham ("Barham") an Officer and Director of the Company, and Norman L. Marks
("Marks"), also an Officer and Director of the Company, individually guarantee
certain nonrecourse provisions of the loan, guarantee certain environmental
warranties regarding the hotel, and guarantee completion of the Renovations
(collectively "Guaranties"). Texas Memphis Investors Limited offered Barham
and Marks, or their assigns, in exchange for their Guaranties, each a limited
partnership interest in Texas Memphis Investors Limited, which constitutes an
interest in the Hotel of one percent (1%). The $11.65 million loan in
connection with the purchase is for a three year term secured by a first lien
mortgage on the hotel, and contains provisions for required payment to the loan
of all net operating income of the hotel (after expenses, certain reserves and
management fees), with a final additional payment of approximately $2 million.
Also in connection with the transaction, a newly formed subsidiary of
the Company, HMG-Tennessee, entered into a management agreement to manage the
hotel and supervise the renovations. HMG- Tennessee and LTS Group, Inc. have
agreed to share certain fees in connection with the management agreement. HMG-
Tennessee will receive a net monthly management fee of $5000 per month for the
first 8 months, with fees thereafter changing to be a net 8% of the net
operating income of the hotel before debt service. In recent years, the hotel
has had net operating income of approximately $1 million, although the Company
believes that if the proposed renovations and management of the hotel is
successful, net income may be able to be increased substantially.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Harrell International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Harrell
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' deficit and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Harrell
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has a shareholders= deficit. These matters raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management=s plans in regard to these matters are described in Notes 1 and 10.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995 and 1994
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
Harrell International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the ACompany@)
began operations in 1959. The Company entered into the acquisition,
development and management of real estate properties including joint
ventures and partnerships (in which its interests would be that of a
general partner having substantial involvement in management) in
December 1990. The Company plans to focus its real estate activities
upon purchase, development and management of condominiums, apartments,
hotels, and other income-producing properties located in the
southwestern and southeastern United States. The Company acquired Hotel
Management Group, Inc. (AHMG@) in August 1992. A significant portion of
the revenues in 1995 and 1994 were produced from the Company=s wholly-
owned subsidiary, HMG.
Basis of Presentation
The Company=s financial statements have been presented on the basis that
it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company is reporting a net income (loss) of $77,759 and $(114,108) for
the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company=s ability to continue as a going concern has been limited
recently due to the payment in 1990 of substantially all of its cash as
a special dividend to its shareholders and the cessation of active
income-producing operations. Additionally, until the year ended
September 30, 1995, the Company has suffered recurring net losses and
has a shareholders= deficit. As more fully described in Note 5, the
Company began participating in real estate joint ventures during fiscal
year 1991 in order to develop new business opportunities. Through its
acquisition of HMG in 1992 as described in Note 4, the Company has also
entered the business of hotel management. These new endeavors have only
recently proven to be profitable for the Company. If the Company=s
operations do not continue to be profitable, it is doubtful as to
whether the Company can continue as a going concern. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management=s
plans regarding this uncertainty are set forth in Note 10.
Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that could affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flow purposes, the Company considers short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets,
principally from five to fifteen years.
Investments in Joint Ventures
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in
joint ventures. Accordingly, the Company recorded its investment in
joint ventures at cost and records subsequent contributions, returns of
capital and equity in earnings (losses) as an adjustment to the initial
investment (Note 5).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, AAccounting for Income Taxes@ (SFAS 109)
which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and
liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of
the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company=s assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such
amounts are realized or settled.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period.

3. CAPITAL TRANSACTION WITH XENEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.
On May 28, 1992, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
(the AAgreement@) with Xenex International, Inc. (AXenex@), a Florida
corporation, whereby upon successful completion of the terms of the
Agreement, Xenex would purchase, or be granted an option to purchase, up
to 1,941,520 shares of Class A common stock of the Company.
On the closing date, Xenex acquired 291,228 shares and a one-year
warrant to purchase up to 1,650,292 shares at a purchase price of $.5151
per share or $850,000 in the aggregate, the term of which was to expire
on June 30, 1993. In consideration for purchase of the 291,228 shares
and the warrant, Xenex paid a total of $150,000 comprised of $100,000
cash and the forgiveness of a $50,000 loan to the Company.
Further, on the closing date, the Company=s chairman and Xenex
established a voting trust which provided that Xenex, or its designees,
as trustee, had the right to vote the chairman=s shares for a time
period not to exceed one year from the closing date. This voting trust,
together with the shares owned by Xenex, gave Xenex control of
approximately 59% of the total outstanding shares of the Company for the
year ended September 30, 1994.
Upon and as a condition of closing, the board of directors of the
Company was increased from three to five members. Two executives of
Xenex were elected to the board. In addition, the chief executive
officer of Xenex was elected chairman of the board of the Company.
On February 16, 1993, the Company entered into a modification of the
common stock warrant with Xenex which extended the term of the warrant
to June 30, 1995. The warrant expired on June 30, 1995, without Xenex
purchasing additional shares in the Company. In addition, Xenex agreed
to loan the Company $150,000. The loan bore interest at 2% above prime
with principal and interest due on June 30, 1995. The note was secured
by the Company=s joint venture interests (see Note 5). The note was
increased and an additional $66,933 was funded during 1994.
By agreement with Businesship (see below) dated September 27, 1996, the
outstanding balance of the note of $243,331, including accrued interest
of $26,398, was converted into preferred stock to be issued by the
Company. The preferred shares will be from a new class of stock to be
authorized by the Company and will be nonvoting, nonconvertible and will
pay a 10% dividend ($24,331 annually), beginning with the year ended
September 30, 1996. The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to redeem the shares at any time at par value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. CAPITAL TRANSACTION WITH XENEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. (CONTINUED)
In March 1993, an agreement was reached between Xenex and Businesship
International (ABusinesship@) for the sale of Xenex to Businesship.
Xenex and Businesship are majority owned by Mr. Nasir Ashemimry, a
director of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Businesship
purchased Xenex=s rights, duties and obligations under the Xenex
Agreement with the Company.
On December 15, 1994, an agreement was reached between Businesship and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenex, to merge Xenex into Businesship.
The effect was to transfer 291,228 shares of the Company=s Class A
common stock from Xenex to Businesship.
On December 15, 1994, the board of directors of Businesship resolved to
declare a dividend of all the stock that it owned in the Company to its
shareholders of record as of January 15, 1995. The effect of this
action was that a total of up to 291,228 shares of Class A common stock
of the Company was to be issued to sixty-eight people and/or entities.
As a result of these events, Nasir Ashemimry was to own or beneficially
own 14.9% or more of the Company=s Class A common stock. Delivery of
the stock certificates had been delayed pending the resolution of all
deficiencies in the Company=s reporting obligations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. On January 31, 1996, the shareholders of
Businesship resolved not to issue stock in the Company to Businesship
shareholders, but that Businesship International would remain holder of
the 291,228 shares in the Company.
4. ACQUISITION OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT GROUP
In August 1992, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of HMG. The common stock was purchased from Barham Family
Interests, Inc. (ABarham@) and Marks and Associates, Inc. (AMarks@) for
stock and consideration of $15,149, which represented the net book value
of HMG at the time of acquisition. In addition, the Company issued
200,000 shares of its Class A common stock to Barham and Marks (100,000
shares each). HMG is engaged in the business of managing the general
operations of hotels and providing them with accounting services.
In conjunction with the purchase, the Company signed a three year
employment agreement with the former officers of HMG, Paul Barham and
Norman Marks. As an inducement to sign, the officers were granted
signing bonuses of $25,000 each, to be paid $12,500 each upon execution
of the agreement and $12,500 each by June 30, 1995. The Company paid
the remaining $12,500 each in October 1993. Additionally, they are to
receive an annual salary of $75,000 each, monthly car allowances of $500
each, a health care package and plans for both incentive compensation
and stock options. In addition, the officers were

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. ACQUISITION OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT GROUP (CONTINUED)
granted the right to rescind the transaction in the event the Company
did not receive an additional $850,000 in equity capital any time prior
to June 30, 1995. The officers elected not to rescind the transaction.
Effective January 1, 1994, HMG formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hotel
Management Group - California, Inc. (AHMG - California@) to hold the
management contract for the operations of the Biltmore Hotel and Suites
in Santa Clara, California. Additionally, as part of a restructuring
undertaken by the owners of that hotel, the food and beverage operations
at the property were leased to HMG California Partners LP, a California
Limited Partnership, of which HMG - California is the General Partner,
and the limited partners are members of the owner=s family. HMG -
California, Inc. ceased to be the General Partner of HMG California
Partners, LP on June 22, 1995, as part of further restructuring by the
hotel=s owner.
Effective July 22, 1994, HMG formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hotel
Management Group - Mississippi, Inc. (AHMG - Mississippi@) to hold the
management contract for the operation of the Days Inn, a 60-room
oceanfront limited service hotel in Pass Christian, Mississippi. HMG
opened this property on August 25, 1994. The management contract on the
Days Inn in Pass Christian, Mississippi (Note 4), was terminated in July
1995. The property will be purchased by the State of Mississippi and
demolished for the expansion of the highway system. As compensation for
the early termination of the management agreement, HMG - Mississippi
will receive a fee of $15,000 upon the sale of the hotel to the state of
Mississippi or in July 1996, whichever occurs first.
5. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
In furtherance of management=s stated intention to acquire, develop and
manage real estate projects, the Company entered into three separate
related party transactions with directors of the Company (among others).
The initial transactions involved contributions by the Company of rights
or assets other than cash. All three transactions required the Company
to enter into a joint venture agreement with another corporation
whereunder the joint venture acquired an interest in an apartment
complex. See Note 10 for subsequent sale of two properties.
Riviera
On December 7, 1990, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement
with Riviera Investors Corporation (ARiviera@). This joint venture is
referred to as the ARiviera Joint Venture@.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED)
Riviera (Continued)
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement as amended, Riviera
contributed $232,000 to the venture and the Company contributed all of
its rights under a purchase agreement it had entered into for the
acquisition of an apartment complex known as Riviera Apartments located
in Dallas, Texas. The agreement provides that Riviera is to receive the
first $32,480 of the venture=s annual net profits (as defined), and the
Company will receive any net profits exceeding $32,480, but less than
$64,960. Any net profits in excess of $64,960 will be allocated 40% to
the Company and 60% to Riviera. Net losses are to be allocated equally
to Riviera and the Company. Riviera and the Company have a 60% and 40%
voting interest, respectively, in the joint venture. The Company,
however, supervises the joint venture=s day- to-day operations through
HMG. No compensation, other than the profit sharing arrangement
discussed above, is received for such supervision by the Company.
During 1995 and 1994, the Riviera Joint Venture did not earn in excess
of $32,480. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any equity in
the earnings of the Riviera Joint Venture for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.
Villa Martinique
On July 15, 1991, the Company entered into a joint venture known as the
AVilla Martinique Joint Venture@ with Villa Martinique Investors
Corporation (AVilla Martinique@). The joint venture was formed to
purchase and operate an apartment complex in Irving, Texas known as the
Villa Martinique Apartments. Under the terms of the joint venture
agreement, Villa Martinique contributed $275,000, and the Company
contributed 80.714% of its rights under a purchase agreement with Home
Savings of America, F.S.B. (AHome Savings@) to acquire the property.
The remaining 19.286% interest in the property was conveyed by the
Company to the Company=s chairman in consideration for his agreement to
be a co-maker of the promissory note discussed below. Villa Martinique
Joint Venture consists of the Company, with a 12.4% ownership and profit
or loss interest and Villa Martinique, with the remaining 87.6%. The
Company=s 12.4% interest in the joint venture translates into a 10%
interest in the underlying property.
Although both Villa Martinique and the Company share equally the right
to manage the joint venture, the Company, through HMG, supervises the
joint venture=s day-to-day operations.

5. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED)
Villa Martinique (Continued)
Villa Martinique and the Company=s chairman are both makers of an August
13, 1991, promissory note to Home Savings in the amount of $1,495,000,
which bears interest at 7.5% through August 31, 1992. The rate
increases 8.5%, 10% and 10.5% for the periods ending August 31, 1993,
August 31, 1994 and September 1, 2001, respectively. This note is
collateralized by property, an assignment of the property=s leases and
rents, and personal guarantees.
On July 13, 1994, the Company, along with the other partners of Villa
Martinique Joint Venture entered into a Compromise, Settlement and
Release Agreement (Athe Compromise@) with the property=s mortgage
holder, Home Savings. The Compromise was reached after responsibility
for roof problems, which caused the complex to experience leaking and
ceiling failures rendering 15 units uninhabitable, was acknowledged by
the lender. The Compromise called for a new roof to be installed at the

Athena Gardens (Continued)
Like the Riviera and Villa Martinique projects, this transaction
provided for the assignment by the Company of its real property purchase
contract to the joint venture comprised of the Company and Athena
Gardens Investors Corporation, a Texas corporation (AAthena Gardens
Corporation@). The joint venture is referred to as the AAthena Gardens
Joint Venture@.
Athena Gardens Corporation made a $235,500 capital contribution to the
Athena Gardens Joint Venture and the Company contributed its rights
under its purchase contract with Camarilla. Under the terms of the
joint venture agreement, the net profits or losses (as defined) are to
be distributed 80% to the Athena Gardens Corporation and 20% to the
Company, after reasonable reserves are withheld for the joint venture=s
indebtedness. Although both the Company and Athena Gardens Corporation
have an equal voice in the management of the Athena Gardens Joint
Venture=s business, the Company, through HMG, supervises its day-to-day
affairs.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company
recognized $802 and $9,670, respectively, in equity in the earnings of
Athena Gardens.
Following is a reconciliation of investments in joint ventures at
September 30:

As discussed in Note 1, the Company recorded its initial investments in

However, the Company has an equity interest in the net assets of each
joint venture which exceeds its initial investment. The Company
accretes the excess of its interest in net assets of the joint ventures
over its initial investments over the depreciable lives of the apartment
complexes.

carryforwards of approximately $3,076,000 for book and tax purposes.
Unused operating loss carryforwards may provide future tax benefits,
although there can be no assurance that these net operating losses can
be recognized in the future. Also, if substantial changes in the
Company=s ownership should occur, there may be an annual limitation on
the amount of the carryforwards which can be utilized. Accordingly, no
deferred tax assets have been recorded in the accompanying financial

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Sale of Riviera Apartments
On August 3, 1996, the Riviera Apartments were sold to a Mr. Dallas
Smith, an unrelated party, for the sum of $260,000. The net proceeds
due to the original investors in Riviera was approximately the same as
their original investment, and therefore the sale resulted in no
proceeds to the Company. The partners elected to sell the property due
to its lack of past performance or potential future performance as an
investment.
Sale of the Company=s Interest in Athena Garden Apartments
On August 20, 1996, the Company sold its 20% interest in Athena Garden
Apartments Joint Venture to Messrs. Irvin Atkins, Arthur Linkletter, and
Wilson Harrell, who collectively represent 83.33% of Athena Gardens
Investors Corporation, the Company=s joint venture partner in Athena
Gardens Joint Venture, for the sum of $100,000.
The sale was approved by the Board and the holders of a majority of the
shares of the Company under authority of Section 6 of the Company=s
bylaws. The Company agreed to the sale to raise funds so that it can
secure medium term hotel management contracts for Hotel Management Group
and its subsidiaries, as part of the Company=s future goals.
Sale of the Company's Interest in Villa Martinique Apartments
The Company has negotiated with Messrs Arthur Linkletter and Wilson
Harrell to sell the Company's 10% interest in the Villa Martinique
Apartments Joint Venture for the Sum of $38,889, payable as to $29,020
in cash at closing with a note in the amount of $9,869 bearing interest
at the prime rate, due in two years.
This transaction has been approved by the Company's Board, also as part
of the Company's future goals, and is expected to close in November
1996.
Memphis Airport Sheraton Acquisition
On October 17, 1996 the Company purchased, for $100,000, a minority
limited partnership interest in the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, located
near the Memphis Airport in Memphis, Tennessee and a subsidiary of the
Company was contracted to manage the hotel. The hotel is owned through
limited partnerships, with the Company owning a limited partnership
interest equating to 7%. The Lender required as a condition of a loan
to the partnership that Paul L. Barham ("Barham") an Officer and
Director of the Company, and Norman L. Marks ("Marks"), also an Officer
and Director of the Company, individually guarantee certain nonrecourse
provisions of the loan, guarantee certain environmental warranties

the hotel and guarantee completion of the renovations (collectively
"Guaranties"). Texas Memphis Investors Limited offered Barham and
Marks, or their assigns, in exchange for their Guaranties, each a
limited partnership interest in Texas Memphis Investors Limited, which
constitutes an interest in the Hotel of one percent (1%). The $11.65
million loan in connection with the purchase is for a three-year term
secured by a first lien mortgage on the hotel, and contains provisions
for required payment to the loan of all net operating income of the
hotel (after expenses, certain reserves and management fees), with a
final additional payment of approximately $2 million.
Also in connection with the transaction, a newly formed subsidiary of
the Company, HMG-Tennessee, entered into a management agreement to
manage the hotel and supervise the renovations. HMG-Tennessee will
receive a net monthly management fee of $5,000 per month for the first
eight months, with fees thereafter changing to be a net 8% of the net
operating income of the hotel before debt service.

I have just received a copy of Wilson Harrell's letter of resignation from the
Board of Directors of Harrell International, dated Sept. 18, 1995.
Since I have been on the Board only because of Wilson's personal request, and
have not really had an opportunity to be as active as I would have liked to
have been or to be kept up to date on business matters as thoroughly as I like
to be, I would now like to resign from the Board effective this date.
Wilson tells me that you are going to be concentrating your efforts on buying
hotel real estate and possibly condominiums and I wish you will in this
expansion of Harrell International.
Best Regards,
